It may seem impossible to get your artistic project off the ground, so here are some ways to raise the funds you need to get started.

Crowd Fund an Artistic Endeavour

Many artists are – sadly – not rich enough to afford full-time production of their creative projects. And the great thing about the internet is it’s brought with it innovative and simple ways for artists to raise essential funds, get grants and do crowd funding from home.

If you’ve never done crowd funding before, or even thought about it for your own work, it can be a great way to free up space and time to actually achieve your creative goals.

There are lots of different websites offering advice on crowd funding, but one of the best still is the original Crowdfunder site. They have a breakdown of how to achieve fundraising through promotion, activities, gifts, videos and how to summarise your project for people to be most interested in funding it.

Arts Council Grants

The arts council is a fantastic organisation that supports the arts across the UK in many different ways. If you’re a struggling artist – who isn’t? – then they have lots of different grants you can apply for to help you achieve your artistic dreams.

As much as The Burton would love to fund individual art projects, sadly we cannot do this due to our own financial constraints. But we hope the above links and information help you to get started on your artistic journey.
